ClutchFans Game Thread: Rockets @ Pistons 11/21/2016

Harden, please make your clutch time FTs next time, all of them.

 

Give dude a break! He had a long night

 

We were up 2 with what, 4 seconds (i think) left in the game, and James missed his second free throw, Drummond got the rebound and Capela immediately fouled him to send him to the line, and he bricked both free throws.

 

so this so why he was bad tonight

 

What a gutsy and heads up play by Pringles at the end and fouling Drummond on that rebound and playing the odds on a historically bad free throw shooter while being up by two.
Definitely genius and light years ahead of Kevin/JB.

 

I thought I was the only one. It's difficult reading the play by play of the Rockets & watching the Texans game.

 

Defense picked it up and won it

 

I'll take it

 

at the end of the third-quarter I was like please please dribble the clock out, I was sure if the pistons got the ball with any time left they were going to score. there was 13 seconds left in the quarter and 10 seconds on the shot clock so I was hoping we could take the shot at the last second and by the time the Pistons got the rebound and The ball up the court the quarter would've been over. lo and behold Marcus Morris it's a half court prayer

28 points, 11 assists, 8 rebounds. This is what Harden's worst game looks like now folks. #newfuture

 

I'll take that 10/10 times.

 

So we were finally able to do that to someone else.

 

I really liked Kentavious Caldwell Pope. Apparently he's at his best moving without the basketball. He's an upcoming free agent!

 

A win is a win!

 

Yep, we finally have a basketball coach lul

 

Eric Gordon playing 29 minutes and shooting 0 for 5 is nowhere near the same as let's say Corey Brewer playing 29 minutes and shooting 0 for 5.

no matter what they still guard Gordon and respect his shot, providing spacing for harden to execute while Corey Brewer is just going to get doubled off of

 

Yeah (restricted though), and it looks like they didn't reach an agreement cause he wanted max money...

 

Yeah, and btw Gordon is playing pretty good defense, and he's doing it guarding point guards and small forwards a lot of times (if not most of the time)..i have to say i'm pretty impressed by his defense and effort.

 

Difference between Westbrook vs Harden

When WB is off, he still jacks up 34 shots, his team loses (last night)

When Harden is off, he only takes 17 shots and compensates with free throws (although not so much this season), and his team wins

 

Great thanks for that....

It's a pain watching the play by play on the phone, but you do what you can when you're putting kids to bed I suppose.
